Once upon a time, Blackberry phones were considered the businessmen phones. As of today, the Blackberry frenzy has hit the entire world. It’s become the most “happening” thing at the moment and with “happening” I can assure you, I literally mean it. Everyone I see is either walking around with it, talking about it, randomly BBM-ing their BBM friends. It’s pretty freaky how technology is taking over today. It definitely has its cons and it is kind of pathetic but hey, we are a phone-obsessed generation, I won’t argue with that and well personally speaking the Blackberry tech amazes me. I love how it makes the mighty planet seem smaller where I can keep in touch with my loved ones whether they’re in the next room, around the corner, another city or even another continent. BBM goes BAM! Everything is just a ting-ting away.

One fine day, God was taking a walk in the lawns of heaven. He looked down from above and wondered why the human world lately was so hooked up on to this piece of electronic device. Everyone he looked at was engaged doing things with their Blackberry whether it was the zealous working business men, the glamorous celebrities, the presidents of nations, the younger generation, teenagers, even school-going premises. He wondered what was going on with the human world and their new obsession and he decided to find out. God sent for his undercover messenger to get him a Blackberry from earth. Had he been using it for a couple of days and guess what? He was amazed at this human creation. He could connect with the human world, his pals, the devil if necessary, his angels, his messengers, his devotees and everyone else. God was super happy with his gadget! It made sense to him why it was nick-named “Crack berry”, it was oh-so-addictive. It even worked up there in heaven. We all know, as a matter of fact, there’s a Blackberry for everyone! :)

Google Chrome’s team added a new releases channel for early adopters and developers: Canary builds. Unlike the beta channel and the dev channel, Canary builds can be installed without overwriting a regular Chrome build. That means you can install both a Canary build and a regular build that could be on the stable, beta or dev channel.

The Canary build is only available for Windows, it’s “installed to a different path, gets updated separately, and runs side by side with an existing stable/beta/dev installation”. Google says that the Canary build will usually be the same as the dev build. “Sometimes if necessary, we may push additional updates on Canary build so its version is higher than dev.”

Where did they come from?

The top referring sites in 2010 were dzone.com, phpcamp.net, phpgangsta.de, abcphp.com, and zceguide.blogspot.com.

Some visitors came searching, mostly for apache http server tutorial, zend server tutorial, and assuming the referenced xml document exists and matches the parsing logic, what should be displayed when this script is executed?.

Mail sent by Narayan Murthy to all Infosys staff:It’s half past 8 in the office but the lights are still on….
PCs still running, coffee machines still buzzing…
And who’s at work? Most of them ??? Take a closer look…

All or most specimens are ??
Something male species of the human race…

Look closer… again all or most of them are bachelors…

And why are they sitting late? Working hard? No way!!!
Any guesses???
Let’s ask one of them…
Here’s what he says… ‘What’s there 2 do after going home…Here we get to surf, AC, phone, food, coffee that is why I am working late…Importantly no bossssssss!!!!!!!!!!!’

This is the scene in most research centers and software companies and other off-shore offices.

Bachelors ‘Passing-Time’ during late hours in the office just bcoz they say they’ve nothing else to do…
Now what r the consequences…

‘Working’ (for the record only) late hours soon becomes part of the institute or company culture.

With bosses more than eager to provide support to those ‘working’ late in the form of taxi vouchers, food vouchers and of course good feedback, (oh, he’s a hard worker… goes home only to change..!!).
They aren’t helping things too…

Android Development Tools (ADT) is a plug-in for the Eclipse IDE that is designed to give you a powerful, integrated environment in which to build Android applications.

ADT extends the capabilities of Eclipse to let you quickly set up new Android projects, create an application UI, add components based on the Android Framework API, debug your applications using the Android SDK tools, and even export signed (or unsigned) APKs in order to distribute your application.

Developing in Eclipse with ADT is highly recommended and is the fastest way to get started. With the guided project setup it provides, as well as tools integration, custom XML editors, and debug output pane, ADT gives you an incredible boost in developing Android applications.

The sections below provide instructions on how to download and install ADT into your Eclipse environment.

Preparing Your Development Computer

ADT is a plug-in for the Eclipse IDE. Before you can install or use ADT, you must have a compatible version of Eclipse installed on your development computer.

If Eclipse is already installed on your computer, make sure that you have Eclipse 3.4 (Ganymede) or 3.5 (Galileo) version that is compatible with ADT and the Android SDK.

A hardware profile. You can set options to define the hardware features of the virtual device. For example, you can define whether the device has a camera, whether it uses a physical QWERTY keyboard or a dialling pad, how much memory it has, and so on.

A mapping to a system image. You can define what version of the Android platform will run on the virtual device. You can choose a version of the standard Android platform or the system image packaged with an SDK add-on.

Other options. You can specify the emulator skin you want to use with the AVD, which lets you control the screen dimensions, appearance, and so on. You can also specify the emulated SD card to use with the AVD.

A dedicated storage area on your development machine, in which is stored the device’s user data (installed applications, settings, and so on) and emulated SD card.

You can create as many AVDs as you need, based on the types of devices you want to model and the Android platforms and external libraries you want to run your application on.

In addition to the options in an AVD configuration, you can also specify emulator command-line options at launch or by using the emulator console to change behaviors or characteristics at run time.

The easiest way to create an AVD is to use the graphical AVD Manager, which you can launch from Eclipse or from the command line using the android tool. The android tool is provided in the tools/ directory of the Android SDK. When you run the android tool without options, it launches the graphical AVD Manager.
